How, exactly, is having a Woman of Color on the Supreme Court incongruent with this goal? I think you need to check yourself.

You're a comedian, right? Great stuff, really!

Hamas Calls for 'Immediate' End to War After Trump Win

But wait! You guys are so close! You've accomplished so much for your people by raping and murdering 1,400 civilian men, women, and children on Iran's orders.

This was a genocide. Biden, you sad bitch.

Sure, he's a bit depressed right now, but I bet he's happier than Sinwar (unless those 72 virgins are for real-real).

That's some funny stuff!

Now how about coming up with something that actually protects the rights of 340 million Americans instead of setting the stage for a 7-2 talibaptist SCOTUS?

They're not wrong but I seem to recall that Democrats were unable to get a liberal judge put on the Supreme Court under obama.

GOP had the majority at the time.

McConnell said it would be inappropriate to put in a new justice when Obama only had a year left in his term. Of course, that didn't stop McConnell from ramming ACB through four years later when Trump only had a couple month's left in his term. Almost like McConnell just says random words and does what he needs to do to accomplish his goals. Dems could learn a thing or two from him.

Right now Dems have control of the Senate and they're unlikely to get that control back in the next couple elections, so this may be the only shot Dems have to get a justice confirmed in the next ten years, if not longer.

The first day of the bombs keep dropping while Trump is President I just hope there's a live camera in Dearborn so he can see the faces of the stupid rodent people who thought that Trump would actually give a damn about them.

Sounds like Hamas is already begging for peace and Qatar is kicking Hamas out.

party leaders are terrified of a repeat of the 2020 debacle when Ruth Bader Ginsburg died during the first Trump presidency after resisting overtures to step down when an Obama administration could offer a like-for-like ideological replacement. Instead, Trump's choice of Seventh Circuit Judge Amy Coney Barrett sent the court lurching further to the right.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Anyways, I'll be taking a nice little vacation from this place. Enjoy the next 4 years.

Take care, BlueWaffles! Was nice chatting with you. Till next time!

A spokesperson for [Trump] told CNN that his "campaign has absolutely nothing to do with these text messages".

Oh do STFU. You don't have any proof that CENSORED lied to you. God you're a WOB.

I wish I supported Trump. Would make the last ten years and the future 30 - 50 (of Trump's SCOTUS rulings) much more tolerable.

Perhaps now is a good time to take up a hobby.

In theory temp work visas could be greatly expanded in number but trumps just to dumb.

He might understand it concerning the sex strike. Since most of his wives have been imported for that purpose.

thanks Censored, I had missed the Wednesday nooner and the announcement.

No problem! Best commit it to memory before it disappears forever.

Too bad the Wayback Machine can't preserve it for posterity. The loss to human progress will be immeasurable ... like the burning of the Great Library of Alexandria. The dawn of a new Dark Ages.

>"No argument here. I don't look forward to Trump taking office, but Kamala's loss is not surprising based just on the inflation issue."

It surprised the ---- out of me.
I've always thought that Trump's position was based on the perception that he wasn't as bad as the alternative. It turns out he was actually popular with a large number of people.

People are angry. And even then it looks like 10 million fewer people voted than in 2020, even though our voting-age population increased (by about 5 million?) in that time. Trump will win in 2024 with about as many votes (maybe a few 100K fewer) as with which he lost in 2020, so not much changed for him.

@ MattM

Don't know if anyone else posted the link, but here's the link to the nooner in case you or anyone else wants to see what they missed.

No one gave 2 ----- about the Nooner until Trump won a landslide election.

Trump ((50.8%) - 312 Electoral Votes) to Kamala ((47.7%) - 226 Electoral Votes) is a landslide?

So what does that make 2020?
Biden ((51.3%) - 306 Electoral Votes) to Trump ((46.8%) - 232 Electoral Votes)?

Another link to the article if the provided one doesn't work for anyone:

Not to interfere with the circular firing squad, and certainly Dems made plenty of mistakes, but if you take a gander at that chart you'll see that the Dems actually did far better than governing parties in almost every other nation.

Ultimately voters don't distinguish between unpleasant things that their leaders and governments have direct control over, and those that are international phenomena resulting from supply-side disruptions caused by a global pandemic or the warmongering of an ageing autocrat halfway across the world.

Voters don't like high prices, so they punished the Democrats for being in charge when inflation hit. The cost of living was also the top issue in Britain's July general election and has been front of mind in dozens of other countries for most of the last two years.

That different politicians, different parties, different policies and different rhetoric deployed in different countries have all met similar fortunes suggests that a large part of Tuesday's American result was locked in regardless of the messenger or the message. The wide variety of places and people who swung towards Trump also suggests an outcome that was more inevitable than contingent.

But it's not just about inflation. An update of economist Arthur Okun's "misery index" " the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates " for this era might swap out joblessness and replace it with immigration. On this basis, the past couple of years in the US, UK and dozens of other countries have been characterised by more economic and societal upheaval than they have seen in generations.

Married men after four years ...: "There was a strike?"

I bet that he has read a dirty book or several of them in his time. Bank on it

Well, I'm assuming he didn't become become acquainted with Stormy Daniels through his monthly Mensa Bulletin.

Ah, I missed the festivities!

Of course, it does. But it's disingenuous to report exceptions as norms.
To me it's the norm. As it is for many people living in blue (more expensive) areas.

People are just lashing out because they're angry but don't know why or how it's going to play out.
Problem is, they've handed the keys to overt authoritarians who are going to gut their lives and significantly decrease their quality of life.

No argument here. I don't look forward to Trump taking office, but Kamala's loss is not surprising based just on the inflation issue.

And, like I said, there were also other factors at play.

Should schools teach (encourage?) children how to develop a "signature" for future "signing" purposes, instead of making the children learn cursive writing?

Knew a Japanese guy who came over for college and stayed for a few years afterwards. He signed everything in Japanese.

I explained to him that his signature just looked like meaningless squiggles to those who only understood English and it would be highly unlikely that we would notice a forgery. He persisted and no harm resulted as far as I know.

Except that's not at all what the average cost of a meal is there

Depends on where you are (COL) and where you go. I regularly pay $10+ for a fast food meal.

In any case, how is Trump going to fix it and why are you stupid enough to think Biden caused it?
